leaves of the cottonwood and soft maple.
All the people seem to ENJOY the blessings
of this last day nf May, and enter upon the
new enterprises with a buoyant step and
pleasant smile. The meetings and greet

once year, or happen to stay away two
or three years, are aSt0nlShed with the

Russia's Gar a Hopeless SOt.

This, however, the car Of Russia is a
hopeless and ofttimes helpless sot.
Among those nearest to him it is well
known, but never mentioned except in
whispers, that he has several times suf-
fered from that most frightfuI of oil
species of insanity, delirium tremens,
and, the narrator alleges, his cruelty to
those VINO were so unfortunate as to
come under his hand upon these occa-
sions would have appealed to the finer
sensibiiities of the king of Dahomey and
caused that iendish monarch to shed
tears of compassion. In his lucid inter
walls he.is reasonable, and even sagacious
but when under the influence of cham
payne or brandy, which two liquors are
most delightful to the imperial palate. not
even his ministers. and, least of all, his
wife and children. can restrain his tend
ency to imperil his personal safety by
exposing himself TO tue attacks of secret
foes i'll his ungovernable recklessness.
1t is told of this imperial maniac that.
on one occasion, NJ. de Giers was driven
from the czar's presence with language
unfit to be heard in the lowest haunts of
infamy after having been summoned by
his sovereign to report upon some mat
ter affecting Russia's foreign policy, and
that the cZar's conduct so outraged him
that he was only induced to retain his
office at the earnest entreaty of friends
ard upon the czar's subsequent apology.

HFLRTIFSs cRnFITY

4 Is to delude poor sufferer INTO the belief
that some W orthless liniment viii cure rheu-
natism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best
policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar
ticlesas in all other matters, and the fact that
the proprietors of AthlophOros have never
claimed for it even all its merit would war
rant has not a little % do with lis wonderful
popularity, and the thousands of grateful
testimonials received by them show that
their policy has been wise rs well rs right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy TO be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and inhames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. II takes the poison
out Of the blood and carries it out of the
system; it invigorates the action OF the
muscles and limbers the stiffness of the
joints. II reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and. if followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease, it viii restore these organs
TO regularity and health.
West Chazy. y. ", Aug. 10, 1886.
Yours of August 18th, is IT hand, and
in reply would say that Athlophoros
proved the most effectuaI remedy for neu-

troubled any more for six months.

Buchanan left oyer $3.50, 900 to his
nephews and nieces.
Martin Van Buren did not save much
out of his salary, but $500, 900.
Adams was poor, but by his wise,
able management lie never suTeIed
want.
James X. Polk left about $50, GOO.
As he had no children Mrs Polk re-
ceived it all.
Fillmore left the White House poor
man, but by a second marriage became
wealthy.
Pierce did not do SO we'll. Fifty
thousand dollars was his limit, with no
one TO inherit il.
OF the earlier Presidents, Washington
was the wealthiest. At his death his
estate was valued at $500, 900.
Wnen Jefferson entered the White
House he was a wealthy man, but he
lost his property and died insOlvent.
John Tyler went to the White House
a poor man, but managed to save
enough out of his salary to live in COM
fort.
President Arthur was a very high
feeder. He spent great deal or money
on his table, and managed to save moth
ing.
President Cleveland will probably not
be able to save more than 100000 out
his whole term, il be saves that much.
Andrew Jackson was counted a rich
man in his day. The Hermitage, which
he left to his adopted son, IS now the
property of the State.
Mrs. Hayes ran the financial end of
the house during Hayes administra-
tion, and that she is a financier is proved
by the amount saved of his salary.
Garfield was not in Office long enough
10 save much money. He left about
$40, 900, and the gifts Mrs. Garfield has
received have made her a wealthy
woman.
Madison was wealthy when he became
President, and left handsome estate,
which Mrs. Madison's son, Bayne
Todd, squandered, and left her a poor
woman.
Grant never saved much of his salary
but the generous gifts of his friends
made him independent. He lost his all
in the Grant-Ward failure. The sale of
his book has placed his wife in an aflu-
ent position.

No Threshing Machines in India.

Needless to remark, says Harold
Cox, threshIng machines in India as
among the Jews in the DAYS Of the Old
Testament, the corn is trodden out by
oxen. This practice largely accounts
for the dirty condition in which Indian
wheat arrives in England. The method
Of winnowing employed in India has
also the merits of simplicity and antiG.
uity. Choosing windy day, the Guilt
vator or one of his family, or a laborer,
takes quantity of unwinnowed corn
into basket specially made for the
purpose, and, lifting it up, lets the corn
gradually fail TO the ground, the wind
blowing the chaff away. An exactly
similar method is employed in Italy and
parts of France, and perhaps is still
known il parts of England. For clean
ing the wheat before grinding the same
method is employed, another man some
times standing by another basket, fan.

Invasion OF the Sea.

There are portions of the land along
the sea coast where the waves are al
ways fighting for dominion. The wear
ing away Of the earth is very rapid un-
less these places are protected by artif-
cial dykes or by natural embankments
of sand. On the east coast of England
great changes have been wrought with
in few hundred years. Where the
old maps of that cost appear incorrect,
showing capes where there are now
bays, the want of accuracy to-day is not
due to any fault of the maps. The
shore line has greatly changed,
and villages and churches have disap-
peared or now to be seen under the
waves.
The most wonderful thing about all
is the slender means by which the
power OF the sea is resisted. a layer of
sand Of only few inches thickness,
washed upon the edge of a marsh, will
bear all the pounding and beating of
the sea il a storm, and be made all the
irmer by what 1t has to endure. And
yet the same sand when it is dry, will
seem as poorly fitted for a breakwater as
would a snow bank.
All along our Atlantic coast are to be
found beaches like those on the east
coast of England, which rest upon soft
mud. The means of preserving these
are as simple as the nature of the beaches
themselves. Grasses that will grow n
the sand, and will grow nowhere else,
give the only protection that can be
found, and, in most instances, all the
protection that is needed. The variety
grown is called marum grass in Eng
land. The name evidently means sea
grass.
This grass was constantly sown by
the Dutch on the sand hills which line
their sea shore and it is altogether
likely that the practice OF sowing 1t was
introduced into England from Holland
IL very early times.

FertiIizing with Clover.

As regards keeping up the fertility
of the farm, bought manures are too
expensive and it IS hardly possible to
make a sufliciency of homemade man
ures we then must resort to sowing
clover, rotating crops and resting part
of the farm. Sowing clover is our
cheapest and surest way Of fertiliZng,
for when growing on the land, we can
graze it or NOW it for forage and Its
effects as a fertilizer last Tor several
years. Waldo L. Brown, of Ohio, one
OF the most intelligent and successful
farmers OF the West, says this of clover
with thirtyGve years of careful OBJ
seryatiOn of the effects Of clover, l
have each year valued it higher than l
did the previous year a crop Of clover
cannot be grown on my soil without
beneftlng iJ no matter what use il IS
put to-whether pasture, cut for hay,

farmer who grows clover can deter

he can put it to the roots Of clover

their dried weight considerably eN-
